WEEK 7 - Elder Campbell was scammed

Image
I no longer feel time. Pday ends, then I kinda exist (and grind to my souls absolute limit with missionary stuff) and then its pday again. I don't mind whatsoever though, I love Pday but like as I'm writing this email I'm just confused on how 7 days have already passed. Anyways, let me tell ya what happened this week: - My week naturally started off beautifully with a nice Pday talking to all of you (thank you so much). It was Elder Campbells Birthday too, and that was fun to celebrate with him. So his week was beautiful until about 3:30 PM on Monday. So basically Elder Campbell thought he would treat himself to a nice new pair of running shoes. He wanted to "literally and symbolically run into his third decade of life" (idk). So we went to a store called Fleet Feet. So I have done a little running in the past (back in my days of obesity) and I was explaining to Elder Campbell how like he didn't need the nicest and most expensive running shoes, just ones that...

WEEK 6 - Gluttony

AHHHHHHH I LOVE P DAY. I also just love my mission this is so awesome. At first I was having like actually a really hard time with this whole mission thing, and it didn't help that people every five seconds would tell me: "I don't know if you have ever heard the lesser known quote by Gordan B Hinckley *ahem* But it states: "Forget yourself and go to work."" Yes I have heard that phrase like idk a billion times in the last week. But its true. It actually is. For everyone reading this who is going to the field soon it is going to be so hard the first couple of days, I wanted to come home. But it gets so much better, soooooo much. Anyways time to hear all of the great things that have happened to me this week: - Okkkk so on Tuesday we did some service at this place called Hope's Door, It is this place that helped like women that have had hard things happen, idk there was a ton of cool stuff there and I was kinda looking around while they were explaining ...

WEEK 5 - the puzzle fiend

Thank the glorious heavens above I love P - Day so much. I LOVE LOVE LOVE hearing from you guys and I LOVE writing my emails. My emails make me realize how weird and amazing this place is at the same time and I love it. But anyways let me tell you what happened this week. - I literally almost became spider-man last week. Yes Elder Andrewsen you heard that right. Spider Man. So basically there was this really weird thing on my arm last Monday and it was rapidly growing and making my mom super worried so we went to go to an urgent care. They then told me that I had a weird spider bite infection thing and a weird strain of the flu. So we were quarantined. The devil himself must really want me off the streets of texas, but it ain't gonna happen. - On our way to the urgent care it was a really silent car ride. And I hate awkward silence so much. We passed by a Hooters and I just kinda wanted to make conversation, so I told my companion Elder Campbell that I was going to take him there...

WEEK 4 - I will not buy cowboy boots

I just want to start by saying something I want to say and I think some of you need to hear. It absolutely destroyed me when last Tuesday when I heard that Paxton passed away. He was such an amazing friend and we all need to try to be a little more like him everyday from here on out. I invite everyone to keep his family and your friends in your prayers because there are so many affected by this loss. But I know we can all see Paxton again, I know he is in the arms of our Savior. But pray for the people who need your prayers right now. Alright now I will talk about what happened this week. - Holy heavens I am out of the MTC, it felt so long but so short idk. That place was kinda like a prison but also fun. So idk i guess its kinda like a womens prison lol. I can literally only remember like one thing that happened last week at the MTC that wasn't depressing so I guess thats what your gonna get. - So basically I was in a room with like 10 or 15 california elders and sisters. They ...
